IWS Flood and Drain Culture 12pot - Plastic Tank

IWS have completely re-designed this popular, highly productive Hydroponic Flood and Drain growing system. All pots and stands are now circular and are manufactured from a higher grade plastic than previously used.

The re-designed range of systems now come with a choice of three inner-pot mesh basket liners for relevant growing media types allowing for optimum drainage for each:

The Aqua pot system for use with Clay Pebbles.

The Culture pot system for use with Coco growing medium.

The Punched pot system for use with Soil.

These systems now come available with the new FlexiTank. Ideal for where access to the growing area is limited.

IWS manufacture the finest horticultural flood and drain watering systems available. Their aim was to produce a Pro-growers system that would allow a novice gardener to become an expert overnight, and with this system, the aim was achieved!

With the system being fully modular, you can decide the layout of your plants depending on the size of plant you wish to grow or the amount of lighting you wish to use. Should you choose to extend your system, extra pots can be added at any time.

The system is a highly developed, hybrid flood and drain system which works by flooding from the bottom of each individual pot (filled with clay pebbles/ Soil/ Coco ). The pots are made up of three parts : a stand with a preset height and a 5 degree slope which allows all the nutrient to drain back to the main tank, stopping the roots from sitting in water : a base pot which has a watertight gland through which the nutrient is delivered and a separate mesh drain pot, allowing the flood and drain action.

The delivery pipe is connected to the base pots which allows a slow and even flood. When a pre-set saturation in the medium is met, the grow system then switches automatically to drain and works in reverse, sucking out all of the nutrients from the base pot leaving the roots moistened but never oversaturated or left standing in water.

**As this growing system utilises external plumbing/tubing supply, we recommend lining the floor with protective, waterproof Floor Secure sheeting to avoid any leakage issues should they occur.
